HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwired - June 6, 2013) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.

Greenfields Petroleum Corporation (the "Company" or "Greenfields") (TSX VENTURE:GNF), an independent exploration and production company with producing assets in Azerbaijan, is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus in all of the provinces of Canada, except Québec, in connection with a marketed public offering (the "Brokered Offering") of common shares of Greenfields (the "Common Shares") on a commercially reasonable efforts agency basis.

The Company proposes to issue up to 1,000,000 Common Shares pursuant to the Brokered Offering at a price of C$3.40 per Common Share for gross proceeds of $3,400,000. The Brokered Offering will be led by FirstEnergy Capital Corp. on behalf of a syndicate of agents to be determined (collectively the "Agents").

In addition to the Brokered Offering, Greenfields proposes to conduct, prior to or concurrent with the Brokered Offering, a non-brokered private placement of up to 2,000,000 Common Shares at a price of C$3.40 per Common Share to certain current institutional shareholders of the Company (the "Non-Brokered Private Placement" and together with the Brokered Offering, the "Financing").

The aggregate gross proceeds from the Financing are up to C$10,200,000. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Financing to fund the Company's share of the Gum Deniz Oil Field and the Bahar Gas Field capital expenditures, to pay interest expenses relating to the Company's outstanding convertible debentures and to cover administrative and other expenses.

The Financing is subject to customary conditions and the receipt of required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The completion of the Brokered Offering is conditional upon the completion of the Non-Brokered Private Placement. The Financing is scheduled to close on or about June 27, 2013, or such other date as the Company and the Agents may agree. The Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Non-Brokered Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of the Common Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale may be unlawful. The Common Shares have not been and will not be registered under the 1933 Act or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the 1933 Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.
